US Army Hammock

I picked up a hammock at the flea market today that I'm not familiar with.

It's a surplus military hammock, but it's not mesh. It's got channels on the ends with tie-outs on the corners (presumably so it can be used as a tarp) with about 2' of Amsteel through the channels as a suspension. It's awfully narrow, but maybe useful. Has anybody had any experience with one of these? I'll take a picture of it in a little while.

The only US Army Surplus hammocks I've had any experience with don;t fit that description.
